There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

How do our eyes make sense of the world?
An untutored brain — or a computer — could go nuts with the visual input we process every moment, like trying to sort a swimming pool full of broken stained glass.
Georgia Tech instructor Keith McGreggor, a pioneer in artificial intelligence, says teaching our smart machines how to understand the visual world is a critical way to make them even smarter.
McGreggor will be among the speakers Oct. 17 at the TEDxPeachtree conference at the Buckhead Theatre, a day-long program organized around the theme “Illuminate.”
Among 12 others addressing the conference will be Chantelle Rytter, organizer of the Atlanta Beltline Lantern Parade, and Genna Duberstein, lead multimedia producer for heliophysics at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
